RNSG 2331 EXAM 1 CAPSTONE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS1. An angry client visits the primary healthcare provider’s office and requests a copy of
their medical records. The client is angry after being placed on hold several times for
over 10 minutes when requesting an appointment. What should the nurse tell this
client?
You answered this question Incorrectly
1. All client appointment calls are transferred to the scheduling clerk.
2. The client will have to speak to the primary healthcare provider.
3. A copy of the record may be obtained within 24 hours of the request.
4. Medical records must stay within the facility unless requested by another primary
healthcare provider.
Rationale
Strategies
3. Correct: The client has the right to the personal medical record. Generally, a period
of time is required to get the record copied. The client may be charged for the copy.
This assures the client that the request will receive attention.
1. Incorrect: This response dismisses the client's feelings and may only anger the client
further. The response does not address the reason for the client's anger. The
statement may be true; however, the client does have the right to request and receive a
copy of the medical record.
2. Incorrect: The primary healthcare provider does not have to be contacted, as there
should be policies in place to grant the request for a copy of the medical record. Also,
telling the client to speak to the healthcare provider would not address the reason for
the client's anger. This would dismiss the client's feelings.
4. Incorrect: The client has a right to the medical record. Records may also be
requested by other providers with consent of the client. The client's feelings should be
addressed and the client should be informed that the medical record will be provided as
requested.
Question:
A nurse is planning to provide information regarding suicide to a high school assembly.
What information should the nurse include?
You answered this question Incorrectly
1. Do not keep secrets for the suicidal person.
2. Express concern for a person expressing thoughts of suicide.
3. Teens often don't mean what they say, so only take suicide seriously if grades are
dropping as well.
, 4. Inform group of suicide intervention sources.
5. Do not leave a suicidal person alone.
Rationale
Strategies
1., 2., 4. & 5. Correct: If a person reveals that suicide is being considered, this should
never be kept secret. Help should be sought for the person immediately. It is also
important to be direct and non-secretive with suicidal clients. It is appropriate to
express concern for their thoughts. The use of empathy, warmth and concern indicates
to the client that their feelings are being understood and viewed as real, which helps to
build trust with the client. Resources for assistance are important to include in all health
teaching programs. The teens need to know what resources are readily available if
someone is considering suicide. The client contemplating suicide should not be left
alone. This is for the client's safety until further assistance can be obtained
3. Incorrect: Most clients who commit suicide have told at least one person that they
were contemplating suicide before thy actually committed the act. Therefore, suicidal
comments should be considered important risk factors that require evaluation, and all
comments should be taken seriously. Anyone expressing suicidal feelings needs
immediate attention.
Question:
The nurse should question which prescription for a client diagnosed with acute heart
failure?
You answered this question Correctly
1. 2 gram of sodium (Na) diet.
2. Digoxin 0.25 mg IV q 4 hours times 3 doses.
3. Furosemide 40 mg IVP stat.
4. Start IV with NS at 125 mL/hr.
Rationale
Strategies
4. Correct: The client is in fluid overload and does not need the normal saline (NS) at
125 mL/hr. NS is an isotonic solution. It goes in the vascular space and stays there
without shifting out to the cells. This could cause additional overload in the vascular
space as well as cause the BP to increase. The other prescriptions are acceptable.
1. Incorrect: This is an appropriate measure Na restricted diet will help to lower the
serum Na and decrease H2O retention. This does not need questioning.
2. Incorrect: Digoxin is a digitalis glycoside. It slows conduction and strengthens the
force of contraction of the heart. Therefore, this medication that increases cardiac
contractility and reduces the heart rate does not need questioning.
, 3. Incorrect: Furosemide is a diuretic. It enhances renal excretion of Na and H2O
and reduces systemic and pulmonary congestion. This medication prescription does not
need questioning.
Question:
The nurse is preparing to administer nadolol to a hospitalized client. Which client data
would indicate to the nurse that the medication should be held and the primary
healthcare provider notified?
You answered this question Incorrectly
1. Blood pressure 102/68
2. Glucose 118
3. UOP 440 mL over previous 8 hour shift.
4. Heart rate 56/min
Rationale
Strategies
4. Correct: This is a beta blocker. It slows the heart rate. If a client’s heart rate is less
than 60 beats per minute, notify the primary healthcare provider and ask if the client
should receive this medication. Administering a beta blocker to a client who has a heart
rate less than 60 could possibly cause the client to develop symptomatic bradycardia
and hypotension.
1. Incorrect: If the client’s BP drops below 90/60, this beta blocker should be held and
the primary healthcare provider notified. The BP in this option is high enough to
administer the medication, but the BP in clients on beta blockers should be monitored
and the client should be taught about signs and symptoms of hypotension.
2. Incorrect: This is a normal glucose level. If the client is a diabetic, beta blockers can
mask the signs of hypoglycemia. There diabetics on beta blockers should monitor their
blood sugar carefully.
3. Incorrect: Urinary output is adequate. Beta blockers do not alter renal function.
However, if pulse and BP are reduced too much, renal perfusion could ultimately be
affected.
Question:
Which signs and symptoms would the nurse expect to see in a client who has taken
prednisone for two months?
You answered this question Correctly
, 1. Weight loss
2. Decreased wound healing
3. Hypertension
4. Decreased facial hair
5. Moon face
Rationale
Strategies
2., 3. & 5. Correct: Decreased wound healing is a side effect with prolonged steroid use
due to the immunosuppressive effects. All steroid medications, such as prednisone,
can lead to sodium retention which then leads to dose related fluid retention.
Hypertension is seen due to this fluid and sodium retention. Cushingoid appearance
(moon face) is a side effect that is created from the abnormal redistribution of fat from
prolonged steroid use.
1. Incorrect: Within one month after corticosteroid administration, weight gain is seen
rather than weight loss.
4. Incorrect: Facial and body hair increase with prolonged steroid use. This excessive
growth of body hair, known as hirsutism, is one of the numerous potential side effects of
prednisone.
Question:
Which interventions should be included in the plan of care for an adult client with
constipation?
You answered this question Correctly
1. Allow adequate time for defecation.
2. Provide privacy for bowel elimination.
3. Suggest increasing fluid intake (unless contraindicated).
4. Encourage client to increase fiber in the diet.
5. Encourage the client to delay the urge to defecate until after a meal.
Rationale
Strategies
1., 2., 3. & 4. Correct: Clients should have ample time for defecation. Rushing the client
may lead to a client ignoring the urge. Since clients may be hesitant to have a bowel
movement in the presence of others, privacy should be provided. (The nurse may need
to stay with weak or disabled clients.) Increasing fluid intake will lead to softer stools.
This makes defecation easier. Fiber deficiencies may contribute to constipation. Fiber
in the diet adds bulk to the stools which help them pass more readily through the
